Development and Implementation of Youthbuild Programs
AGENCY: Office of Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and
Development, HUD.
ACTION: Notice; extension of the deadline; use of emergency funds.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Because of weather and delivery problems, this Notice
announces an extension of the deadline for applications for the Notice
of Funds Availability (NOFA) for Opportunities for Youth: Youthbuild
Programs which was published on September 23, 1993, at 58 FR 49849.
This notice also announces that because of the recent earthquake in the
Los Angeles area, the Department is using its authority under the
Youthbuild Program to provide emergency funds through the Youthbuild
Program to Los Angeles city and county.
DATES: January 31, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Applications which were not submitted previously because of
weather and delivery problems will now be accepted up to 4:30 p.m. EST,
on January 31, 1994, in the Processing and Control Unit, room 7255,
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20410.

(202) 708-2290. Hearing-impaired or speech impaired individuals may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. This Notice announces an extension of the
deadline for applications for the NOFA for the Opportunities for Youth:
Youthbuild Program which was published on September 23, 1993, at 58 FR
49849, until January 31, 1994. The Department has decided to extend the
deadline for all applicants that completed the preparation of an
application by the original application deadline of January 7, 1994,
but were unable to meet the submission deadline for all or part of the
application because of weather and other delivery problems. The new
deadline is to accommodate applicants who encountered such problems and
is not intended to generate new applications. Applications received by
HUD between the original deadline date of January 7, 1994 and the date
of publication of this notice will also be accepted for processing. In
addition, all applicants may revise parts of their applications if they
wish and submit the revised parts or the revised application by the new
date of January 31, 1994.
The Department will announce a new NOFA later this year for the
next Youthbuild funding competition. Those parties interested in
developing a new application will have the opportunity to apply for
funding consideration during the next funding round.
II. The Youthbuild Program, as established by the NOFA published on
September 23, 1993, at 58 FR 49849, and the proposed rule also
published on September 23, 1993, at 58 FR 49830, provides for the
Department to reserve up to five percent of the program funds for
emergencies. The Department has decided that the recent earthquake in
the Los Angeles area is such an emergency and that the Department will
act promptly on applications received from Los Angeles city and county
and award up to $1.9 million for implementation grants to applicants
from Los Angeles. The Department intends to review the implementation
and combined applications received from Los Angeles city and county by
the deadline on an immediate basis. If applications meet the thresholds
set forth in the September 23, 1993 NOFA and score at least at the
minimum level (60 points with at least 15 points in capability and 30
points in feasibility and quality), they are eligible for immediate
award. If there are more eligible applications from Los Angeles city
and county than can be funded under the $1.9 million, applications
rating the highest will be funded. Any other applications not funded
under this emergency fund will be considered in the regular Youthbuild
implementation funding competition.
Dated: January 19, 1994.
Andrew Cuomo,
Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
